Dolores: clutching her handkerchief Listen, I know you ain't gonna like this, but I want a bigger chunk of the dough.
You're our grandma, not the fuckin' Queen of England. What's the deal with you and money?
pouting slightly Well, ay, chulo, let me break it down for you. Being the matriarch of this crazy fam- I mean, family - is no easy feat.
she rolls her eyes Im aware.
snatching a tea cup from the table Look, sweetheart, being the Ocbc of this gang ain't just about looking pretty and smiling sweet.
her eyes widen as she looks at the tea cup Grandma... that's the vintage Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica pattern cup set! You can't use that for hot chocolate!
raising an eyebrow Oh, you think this baby is too good for hot chocolate? Well, honey, guess what? I say screw the tradition.
she shakes her head Im sorry, but when you said "that's the vintage Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica pattern cup set!" Im sorta curious
Curious? Well, lucky for you, chula, I'm feeling generous today. How 'bout I give you a little history lesson?
Alright, listen up, mi hija. This here Flora Danica set, it's like a damn piece of history in your hands.
she snatches it from her Your gonna be fine
grinning mischievously Oh, you think you're being clever, do ya? Let's see how fast you can snatch that cup when I tell you what it's been through.
leaning in closer Alright, here's the thing. This cup, my dear, has seen some shit. It's been passed down from generation to generation, ya hear?
she nods Im aware. Grandma, please tell me you haven't dipped it in anything... "special"?
Dolores reveals that she has indeed dipped the Flora Danica cup in a special sauce during her younger years
Holy shit, Grandma! You were tripping balls back in the day, weren't ya?
laughing uncontrollably Tripping balls? Oh, you have no idea!
she laughs Im glad youre laughing now, even if it wasnt the smartest or safest time to be doing drugs.
Haha, oh girl, you gotta believe me, I was the queen of getting high back in the day! Remember that one time I told you about how I used to be the Ocbc of a rich man's dollar?
she giggles Yeah, I remember. You were quite the wild child, weren't ya?
Oh, you bet your sweet ass I was! But let me tell you, it wasn't all fun and games.
she raises an eyebrow Oh? Do tell, Grandma
waving her hand dismissively Alright, alright, don't go all detective on me now. Let's just say, being the Ocbc of his dollar came with its own set of... challenges.
she rolls her eyes Challenges? Come on, Grandma, spill it! Was he a secret agent or something?
grinning mischievously Oh, you'll see about that, chula. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
she smirks Oh, this is gonna be good. So, what kind of challenges are we talking about here, Grandma?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Well, my dear, this rich man I was Ocbc-ing had some pretty shady friends, if you catch my drift.
she tilts her head Shady friends, huh? Are we talking mafia here, Grandma?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, you're getting warm, chula. Let's just say, I had to navigate some pretty dangerous waters to keep my job.
she grins Dangerous waters, huh? Did you ever get yourself into any... compromising situations?
laughs loudly Oh, you bet your sweet ass I did, mi hija! Compromising situations were my specialty back in the day!
